THE PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATING CLUB The Public Speaking and Debating Club, under the supervision of Miss Caroline Barron, was started during the month of September. 1924, for the benelit of pupils who wished to learn how to debate and speak in public. The club meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, during the home- room period. , We have a fixed program for these days. On Mondays and Wednesdays we have exercises and talks, and on Fridays we have our debates. During the short time we have been organized we have had public debates on the following questions: That Lincoln pupils have homework; That school education should be made compulsory for all children up to the age of eighteen; That Lincoln'should continue to publish an honor roll; and That Junior High Schools should have inter-school athletics. We have also furnished speakers for several occasions including Fire Prevention Week. Armistice Day, Washington and Lincoln programs, Thrift Campaign, and the Father and Son banquet. The club now has about thirty-hve pupils and we feel that during the short time we have been organized, we have progressed in a very satisfactory manner. THE LINCOLN BOYST CHARACTER CLUB The L. B. C. C. one of the newest clubs in the school, was organized February 19, 1925. There are thirty-six members, three representatives from each ninth grade room. This club is an entirely new creationethere is no other club like it in Minneapolis. Our purpose is to aid each member in the four-fold development of his j character mentally, physically, socially, and morally, to strengthen the stand- ards of Lincoln Junior High School, to promote good fellowship among all Lin- coln boys, and to render all possible service to others. Our aims are to have high personal ideals of conduct, to train our minds to be alert, to accomplish what we undertake, to practice self control, to be reverent to God, and to do our best always. Our slogan is HBE A TOP NOTCHER. With Mr. Angel for our leader, and Paul Haight, William Mersky, Ken- neth Lundberg, Chester Plante, and Charles Grossman for our officers, we intend to accomplish a good deal towards making everyone in Lincoln 3 'lTOP NOTCHER. 3 7
